Röntgen's first "medical" X-ray, of his wife's hand, taken
on 22 December 1895 and presented to Ludwig
Zehnder of the Physik Institut, University of Freiburg, on
1 January 1896[17][18]

1. Higher intensity light did not change
the point at which current started to flow.
(i.e. energy of the electrons)
1’. More total incident energy did not increase
the energy of individual electrons.
2. Different colors of light changed the
starting point for current flow.
3.6 Photoelectric Effect

typically a few Volts at most
Implications: 1. EM waves have fixed energies (EM field is quantized)
2. Electrons are bound in a material by an amount determined
by the composition

Do TV Sets Give Off X-Rays?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube
X-rays may be produced when electrons,
accelerated by high voltage, strike an obstacle
while traveling in a vacuum, as in a TV containing
a cathode ray tube (CRT). Since many of the
components in television sets operate at
thousands of volts, there is the potential for x-ray
generation. These components may produce xrays capable of escaping from the television
receiver or CRT. This unintentional emission of xradiation can pose a potential hazard and must
be controlled.

Computed tomography (CT) scanning, also called computerized axial
tomography (CAT) scanning, is a medical imaging procedure that uses
x-rays to show cross-sectional images of the body.
A CT imaging system produces cross-sectional images or "slices" of
areas of the body, like the slices in a loaf of bread. These cross-sectional
images are used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique commonly used by physicians to
obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through
the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an Xray source and fluorescent screen between which a patient is placed.
However, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image
intensifier and CCD video camera allowing the images to be recorded and
played on a monitor.

occurs via dipole and scattered

Positron emission
tomography (PET) is a
nuclear medicine imaging
technique that produces a
three-dimensional image or
picture of functional processes
in the body. The system
detects pairs of gamma rays
emitted indirectly by a
positron-emitting radionuclide
(tracer), which is introduced
into the body on a biologically
active molecule. Threedimensional images of tracer
concentration within the body
are then constructed by
computer analysis.
If the biologically active molecule chosen for PET is FDG, an analogue of
glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged then give tissue metabolic
activity, in terms of regional glucose uptake.

Summary of Chapter 03
Strange things not known from classical physics
• New things
– Cathode rays electrons
– X-rays
• Line spectra
– Gaseous discharges show lines rather than continous spectrum
• Blackbody radiation
– Rayleigh-Jeans classical formula clearly incorrect at explaining
spectrum
– Planck: oscillators with fixed energies
• Compton scattering
– Scattered photons have different wavelength in contast to
classical description
• Pair production & Positron annihilation
– Waves change into particles and vice versa
